One of the issues is that we have strictly no idea what the caches are
Inner Shareable with (I've been asking for such clarification for years
without getting anywhere). You can have as many disconnected inner
shareable domains as you want!

I suspect that in the grand scheme of things, the redistributors
ought to be in the same inner shareable domain, and that with a bit of
luck, the CPUs are there as well. Still, that's a massive guess.

Do you have more information about what the bus is complaining about?
Is that because the CPUs have these pages mapped as inner shareable?

I'll give it a go on D05 (HIP07) to find out what changes there.

Thanks,
